"I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."Moses, as he came down from the mount with the stone tablets, and saw the people of God adoring a golden statue, got mad and broke some of the commandments. I guess all the exceptions this administration has used to invade and murder their neighbors, to steal their resources were clearly written there.
The first commandment is very clearly a definition: God is the Judeo-Christian God. What messages does this says about other religions? Shouldn't there be other religious texts displayed in the Capitol too?
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me. [...] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."
Isn't this God clearly against the First amendment?
"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."
President Bush said "God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did." Dubya, don't use God's name as an excuse.
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy."
So far, 4/10 commandments, but none of them have anything to do with the foundation of the constitution. But hold on, this will get resolved soon.
"Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."
Finally, something nice is said.
"Thou shalt not Kill."
That means, do not kill. I don't care if you call them evildoers.
"Thou shalt not commit adultery."
Makes sense.
"Thou shalt not steal."
Except oil.
"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."
WMDs? Links between Iraq and 9/11? Dubya, give us a freaking break, we are sick of you repeating the same lie over and over.
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, [...] nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's."
Nor his land, nor his political significance as a pawn, nor his carbonate resources. Nor his ass. See? The constitution, based on this commandment, is against gay marriage!
A couple of conclusions can be drawn. First, the ten commandments have nothing to do with the constitution. Second, this administration's policy has nothing to do with the ten commandments. So it goes.
